How to Share a Facebook Group Post With Friends

Use a group post’s Share option to send it to a friend when Facebook offers that destination. The original post’s audience and group privacy settings still control who can see it.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Open the group post and use Share if Facebook provides that option. Select the friend-directed destination shown, confirm the recipient, and add a message if Facebook offers one. Whether your friend can open the original post depends on its audience and the group’s privacy settings.

Share a group post with a friend

  1. Open the Facebook group and find the post you want to share.

Can your friend see the original post?

Sharing a post or its link does not make restricted group content public. A friend who is not a member of a private group may be unable to view the original. Facebook says pinned items in public groups can be seen by anyone on or off Facebook, while pinned items in private groups are visible only to group members; this illustrates the visibility difference, though it is specifically Facebook’s guidance about pinned items. See Facebook’s explanation of group pinned-item visibility.

If Share is missing

If the post has no Share control, you may not be able to share it through that menu. One possible reason is a group restriction: Facebook says admins of some groups can control which kinds of posts members may create. That does not explain every case where Share is absent. See Facebook’s guidance on post types in groups.
